I would like to help an open-source project with UI design and UX design. I have over 18 years of experience in the field and have worked with desktop and mobile software on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Windows Mobile/Windows Phone. Unfortunately my knowledge of Linux is very limited but I’m eager to learn. Could you help me find a project? @thelinuxEXP @linux @macrumors @windowscentral @windows
Do you have much experience with deployment? I’ve got a small hobby project with a GUI written in Qt, and I’ve been having a hard time writing reproducible build scripts for cross-platform deployment.
On macOS, I can distribute the executable with homebrew and add Qt as a dependency. On Linux, I could theoretically build an AppImage, but I would prefer to have the build process handled by GitHub Actions, which doesn’t have sufficient resources to statically build Qt. On Windows, I’m at a total loss…
My project is tiny, but it does have a niche market, and I’d love to make it available to as many people as possible. Qt is killing me!!!
Sorry, I know that doesn’t have anything to do with the design side of things. I’m just throwing darts, cause I’ve had a hard time on my own with this.
@vhstape Hey VHS, unfortunately I don’t have any experience with the technical side of development and deployment of software, I only know how it works at a high level. Unfortunately I have seen a lot of projects suffering with QT in the last few years so I hope you can move your project to another UI framework or find a solution to your problem.
Thanks for the reply. What framework would you recommend for C/C++, preferably cross-platform?
@vhstape I’ve heard good things about NITISA and JUCE, although I have no personal experience developing with them, I only created icons and GUI graphics for companies using them (mostly for VST audio plug-ins)
